Vitamin D testing

Vitamin D deficiency is an endemic problem for Manitobans, and has been identified as an important risk factor in a variety of conditions. Vitamin D deficiency has now been shown as a risk factor for strokes, heart attacks, many forms of cancer, autoimmune regulation, anxiety and depression. The doctors at the Centre for Natural Medicine routinely test levels of Vitamin D3 and instruct patients how to supplement appropriately to achieve the optimal dose. After a period of supplementation, the Vitamin D3 levels are often retested to confirm that the target blood range has been achieved.
